The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is expected to delay the upcoming Formula 1 races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, according to a report by Sky Sports News on March 13. According to Jin10, the Bahrain Grand Prix was initially scheduled for April 12, followed by the Saudi Arabian race on April 19. However, both events are now unlikely to proceed as planned. Neither Formula 1 nor the International Automobile Federation has commented on the situation. An official announcement is anticipated within the next 48 hours. Previous reports suggest that if these races are canceled, no replacement events will be scheduled in the F1 calendar.
